The Steelers did not have this result go their way but absolutely everything went their way up until that point in this absurd Chiefs game. This football team isn't dead yet. Panthers need to win tonight and then we need a lot of breaks to go our way but we are still in it. Who Dat!
After three weeks of having every single break fall their way, the Pittsburgh Steelers, left for dead at 5-8, were somehow just one kick away from making the playoffs.
Three straight wins and Week 16 and 17 losses by all the teams ahead of them left the 8-8 Steelers needing the Kansas City Chiefs, a team resting most of its key starters before next week’s wild card game, to defeat the San Diego Chargers, who were fighting for their playoff lives. Miraculously, the Chiefs had a chance to win the game late on a 41-yard field goal. Ryan Succop had only missed once this year from so close a distance. You know what happened next.
